major_merrick Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 (edited) This is probably a unique situation since I have multiple partners... When I married my husband, he already had two partners (Wife #1 and Wife #2). I had two partners as well, and we were all friendly with each other I wasn't especially close to my husband's partners. Wife #1 became fairly aggressive with me a few months after my GFs and I joined the household, and there has been tension and almost a power struggle between us ever since. But that's changing. The last few months, Wife #1 has drawn closer to me. COVID came along, and my husband has been away a lot while at the same time I've been home most of the time. We work together, take care of our kids together, and have been pretty content just doing life. She's been displaying a lot more affection toward me recently. She insists on laying next to me at night, and when we have sex its like the tone of it has changed. In turn, I'm feeling much, much more protective toward her as I've discovered her vulnerabilities over time. Since we've been living together and we've been sexually involved all this time (even when we were fighting,) its not like there's really a situational change or a "step" we can take in our relationship. I'm looking for some way to acknowledge the increased bond we're developing. I know some married couples do special things to mark changes in their relationships or to acknowledge the passage of time. Thoughts?

schlumpy Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 I'm afraid I'll suggest something sophomoric. If you two ladies like trinkets. How about one of those necklaces where one partner wears one half and the other wears the other half? They can be put together to form a single piece. It probably has a specific name but I can't supply it. If you like sharing memories instead then go on an adventurous trip together. Link to post Share on other sites
mark clemson Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Renew your v... oh wait, nevermind. Sorry, I got nothing for ya on this one. 🤣 Seriously, though, since you're into metal work, maybe make her something you know she'd she'd appreciate? Link to post Share on other sites

Ruby Slippers Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 A meaningful piece of jewelry, flowers, a luxurious piece of clothing like a silk nightie or whatever is her style, a book of poems with one of your own tucked in the pages, something handcrafted just for her. You know best what will tug her heartstrings. Link to post Share on other sites
Author major_merrick Posted September 10, 2020 Author Share Posted September 10, 2020 @Ruby Slippers Silk is a great idea. She loves soft, lightweight fabric. Even in summer she tends to wear long sleeves bc she is self conscious about scars. I will have to look for something comfy she can wear. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
